Alessandro Becchi “Toscanolla” Dining Chairs for Giovannetti, 1970, Set of 6

About the Item

Alessandro Becchi “Toscanolla” dining chairs for Giovannetti, ash and straw, Italy, 1970, set of six. This rare "Toscanolla" dining chair was designed by Becchi for Giovannetti in 1970. Its cone-shaped legs create a bulky, solid wooden structure, but still sophisticated thanks to the curved straw backrest. A unique and refined design that recalls iconic comfortable Italian country chairs, such as the Vico Magistretti "Carimate". Each chair is marked with the designer and manufacturer logo on the back. After studying at ISIA in Florence, Alessandro Becchi (1946-1987) began his career as a designer. He participated in the 1972 MoMa exhibition "Italy: the New Domestic Landscape", presenting the "Anfibio" sofa. Since this moment, he started a close collaboration with Giovannetti. Becchi brought innovation, creativity and a new perspective on furniture design. Our atelier carefully restored the chairs. Slight signs of use and time.
